Bill Moyers: Back With a New Series

Wednesday 11 January 2012
by: Bill Moyers, Truthout | Op-Ed



Dear Friends,

You already may have heard that I'd be coming back in January with a new series on the public television station nearest you. But you may not have heard exactly why. It's not just that I lack retirement skills, as my wife and co-editor, Judith, keeps reminding me. Or that the squeaky rocking chair on the front porch got on my nerves. I'm coming back because in tumultuous times like these I relish the company of people who try to make sense of the tumult. These are the people I'll bring to our new broadcast, Moyers & Company.

Journalism has long been for me a continuing course in adult education. Given what's happening in this country, it's time to sign up for more classes. The lack of civility and common sense that has paralyzed our democracy, the vast economic and social inequality that sends both left and right raging into the streets, the corrosive influence of money in politics - we're in a tailspin with little hope for a course correction from our elected leadership or corporate-dominated media. The need for voices of reason, simple and eloquent, has rarely been stronger.

Those voices, whether they be from artist or social critic, philosopher or poet, historian or physicist, can bring us truth, inspiration, even hope. So I'll be reaching out in this new series to people engaged in the trials and errors of democracy, who have tested their ideas against experience, and who know that the health of our body politic is everybody's business. They help us see the world anew, and to make informed choices. ................(more)

2. I knew he couldn't

stay away. I am so happy to see him back w/ a new series. He was on Colbert a couple of nights ago. He was grinning and laughing the whole time. I think he enjoys Colbert's character.

3. Suggestions for shows/interviews

I have been submitting suggestions to MSNBC.
Just go to MSNBC - Contact

I hope that Bill Moyers will have a similar contact
so that we can let him know who we would like to see
on his show.

In D/U I see references to a variety of people I have
never heard of but who have the knowledge to clarify
some of the issues we are trying to correct in this
country.

One of the greatest needs as I see it, is to present the facts and expost the spin that causes so much confusion between the
left and the right.

I'm glad to see someone from the old school get back in there
and give an unbiased presentation of the pros and cons.

Moyers is a voice of reason and calmness, as are most of his guests. I'm eager to hear what he has to say.
